As reported by PUNCH, an educationist, Roseline Obamiyi who spoke in an interview on Monday said there was the need to sensitise students and parents on the need to select the right combination of subjects for UTME examinations.

Roseline Obamiyi said, “The issue of subject combination is a big deal. In the JAMB brochure, there are UTME subject combinations for different courses. Similarly, at the O’Level, there are certain combinations.

“For instance, you can’t be aspiring to study Medicine and choose Mathematics, English, and Religious Studies as your UTME subjects. Students and parents need to be sensitised. JAMB is already doing enough by sensitising through the distribution of JAMB brochures.”

“With the examination completed, it has now become imperative for candidates to link their e-mail addresses with their profiles to complete their registration process to facilitate the printing of their results.

“To do this, all a candidate needs to do is to visit any accredited CBT centre to get the linkage done after which the e-mail becomes part and parcel of the candidates’ completed profiles”.
